　　If I don't go to the training to see a doctor, the "learning difficulty" outpatient clinic is on fire this summer.

For example, the number of outpatient accounts for learning difficulties in the Pediatric Hospital of Fudan University has become so intense that it has become a hot topic. Children's hospitals in Nanjing, Wuhan, Xiamen and other cities are overloaded with such specialized outpatient clinics.

　　So, what exactly is learning difficulty?

After going to the "Learning Difficulty" outpatient clinic, can a "student scum" really become a "student tyrant"?

　　The "Learning Difficulty" Clinic of the Pediatric Hospital has seen more than 1,500 children in two years

　　Recently, a picture of a "Learning Difficulty" clinic has become a hot search.

When a citizen of Shanghai visited the Pediatric Hospital of Fudan University, he took a picture of the call of the "Learning Difficulty" outpatient clinic in the waiting area and posted it on Weibo. The picture suddenly became popular.

Some parents were very curious after seeing this outpatient clinic, while others were full of doubts: Can "learning difficulties" also go to the hospital to see a doctor?

　　The reporter learned from the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University that the "Learning Difficulty" outpatient clinic really has something to do with it.

The relevant outpatient clinic of the hospital was opened in September 2020 and is open every Thursday afternoon. In the past two years, it has received and helped more than 1,500 children with learning difficulties.

　　"Learning difficulty is a result of many factors that lead to poor learning status and poor grades in children. Studies at home and abroad report that the incidence of learning difficulties is about 20%, and the number of boys is higher than that of girls." Fudan University Zhu Daqian, director of the Department of Psychology at the Affiliated Children's Hospital and doctor in charge of the "Learning Difficulties" outpatient clinic, introduced that there are many reasons for children's learning difficulties. In addition to family education reasons, learning difficulties may be caused by various neurodevelopmental problems, emotional and mental disorders, cultural and adverse environmental factors.

　　Coincidentally, many hospitals in Wuhan also have related outpatient clinics, such as Wuhan Children's Hospital, Wuhan Wuchang Hospital, Wuhan Mental Health Center, etc.

Since the summer vacation this year, the number of outpatient visits for "learning difficulties" has increased, and many parents have brought their children to seek help.

The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Wuhan Children's Hospital deliberately opened the "Learning Difficulty" outpatient clinic independently, and the number of outpatient visits in July has exceeded 1,000.

　　So, what is the effect of seeing children with "learning difficulties" outpatient clinics?

　　Voice Some children encounter difficulties in learning only because parents' expectations are too high

　　According to Zhu Hongmin, head of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Wuhan Children's Hospital, many parents came to the outpatient clinic this summer to complain, saying that their children were too naughty. help.

　　"Many children are not naughty and subjectively dislike learning, but because they have encountered 'disorders'." Zhu Hongmin introduced that some children encountered learning difficulties caused by neurodevelopmental problems. In addition to ADHD, there are also dyslexia. , writing disabilities, math disabilities, and other learning disabilities, and some children may suffer from autism, epilepsy, mental retardation and other diseases.

In addition, some children have psychological problems due to family changes, school transfers, campus interpersonal relationships, etc., which affect their learning.

　　She said that when parents see their children's learning problems on the surface, some think their children are naughty and don't like to study, and some directly conclude that their children have problems with their learning ability.

In fact, to confirm that the child has learning difficulties, it needs to undergo standardized diagnosis and treatment.

After coming to the hospital for treatment, the doctor will not only inquire and observe the child, but also arrange for the child to undergo attention evaluation, intelligence evaluation, sensory evaluation, etc., to comprehensively judge the child's state; EEG and MRI examinations to determine whether other diseases cause learning difficulties.

Based on these test results, after a clear diagnosis, the symptomatic prescription can be prescribed.

　　Interestingly, some children were brought to see "learning difficulties" by their parents, but Zhu Hongmin persuaded them back: parents' expectations for their children are too high, and the children's poor performance is considered to be learning difficulties.

In fact, children are normal, but parents need to relax more.

　　Zhu Hongmin introduced that last week, she treated a 6-year-old boy who was about to enter primary school. Parents always felt that the child was inattentive. After reading the picture book for a while, they made a fuss and wanted to go out to play. They were worried that it would affect future studies. ".

After inspection, the child's concentration time can reach 15 minutes, which is in line with the indicators of his age group. Zhu Hongmin believes that no intervention is required.

　　Zhu Hongmin said that at the beginning of July, she also received a second-grade boy, and the child's mother was anxious, thinking that the child was "sick".

After examination and evaluation, the boy is healthy and all developmental indicators are within the normal range.

Zhu Hongmin comforted the parents: the child is not "sick", and it is normal that the answer is not answered once in a while. It may be that the knowledge point is not well grasped, or other accidental factors are affected. After finding out the reason, it can be adjusted.

"Parents have high expectations and are too anxious, which may 'infect' their children."

　　It is suggested that "learning difficulties" need to be faced, but don't take it as a "panacea"

　　The reporter learned that the "Learning Difficulty" clinic that has hit the hearts of many netizens is not suddenly "hard to find", but has been "popular" since its opening, and the weekly clinics are almost full.

What many people are concerned about is that, after seeing this clinic, can they go from "scumbags" to "scholars"?

In this regard, Dr. Zhu Daqian said that there are indeed some children with "ADHD" who have become "school masters" after drug treatment.

But she emphasized: "It's not so fast, and it varies from person to person. The outpatient clinic first helps parents figure out what is the cause of their child's learning difficulties, and then treats symptomatically and comprehensively."

　　Experts suggest that when children encounter learning difficulties and psychological difficulties, under the guidance of professionals, it is a good thing to be able to prescribe the right medicine and break through psychological barriers. "Learning difficulties" also need to be faced, but don't treat it as a "panacea". .

　　"The outpatient clinic for learning difficulties is on fire, and more parents and children come to the outpatient clinic. This is a good thing. It shows that everyone pays more attention to children's psychological and behavioral ability, and knows to pay attention to children through correct channels and intervene early. But at the same time, parents should also pay attention to Avoid falling into a misunderstanding. Dr. Zhu Hongmin said that some parents believe that taking their children to the outpatient clinic for learning difficulties can solve the problem immediately. Professional rehabilitation training, etc., and the joint intervention of parents, schools, and hospitals can maximize the learning ability of children and achieve better learning outcomes. However, this is a gradual process that requires a certain amount of time, and parents must not be impatient.

　　Others believe that under the guidance of professionals, parents need to calm down and observe their children the most, as well as take a good look at their own state.

If parents themselves fall into the educational trap of fighting chickens and an “arms race” in education, then neither the “learning difficulty” clinic or the so-called “smart medicine” can relieve the parents’ inner learning friction.

In the face of "learning difficulties" clinics, parents must be more careful.

When it comes to children's learning, if you have a disease, you should not seek a disease.
